Slow gaming as of late - too much stuff going on here with the weather improving. I did have some time to paint up a squad of battle-hardened US troopers - as Dave used to say - "fresh volunteers for the war on terror!" None of the bases are flocked or textured yet.
These guys are the start of my modern/ultra-modern Skirmish collection and I will most likely play FUBAR among other games with them.
I really like the Rebel minis troopers! I also have PRC troops (by accident, believe it or not), Russian Spetnaz, and Fedayeen and Insurgent troops (who I will paint up as the 'daesh' right after I buy the new Khurasan Kurdish PKK forces!!!)

Painting the ACU was a pain and unfortunately you can't see the fine detail in most of the pictures. I used a piece of spongy foam to make the tan/gray pixels on the US camouflage. The black ink gives them a very dirty, weathered look which I like anyways. Some were dry-brushed with buff afterwards. Some were not. Still have 2 squads and the command group to finish.

| Red forces - "Name-istan" troops. Generic Middle Eastern Regulars. Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian, Egyptian. You name it! These are from the Khurasan Syrian forces collection. |
That's all for now. Napoleonic French Battalion in the works, followed by more Middle Eastern Regulars, Modern US Troopers, and Cold War US! A most ambitious spring ahead of me!
Nice figs and buildings !
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam. The Crescent Root buildings are really inexpensive compared to other brands. Nice quality too.
